nice, I need to do my badges too.

[kcxd]

plan a full day for the removal and paint. It sucked trying to get the badge off the front of the car. I like the way they look so in the end it was worth two days of really sore finger tips.

[cigardave]

pardon my ignorance but what happened to your badges? i am new to the whole scion thing, trying to catch up.

my badges are shiny....hum

[katchkillah]

that's what he was talking about, taking them off and painting them in the posts above you.

[massadar]

Badges? we don't need no steenkin' badges!

[katchkillah]

hey xcxd, no worry the days after i got my xd i was modding away with parts i stocked up prior to buying my xd. in fact still have a few here and there mods sitting around. LOL. but it's so fun to get a new car and not even a week have some mods on there and people are confused about the new car you just bought. LOL.

[cigardave]

so you dont want them to shine?

[kcxd]

With the dark car, gunmetal wheels and dark tint i did not want my emblems to shine. I wanted them to blend in with the other colors. I also permenantly removed the xd emblem. I dont like the way it looks on the car. I am planning on putting the bumber vinyl on the front of the car that blue bat offers. I just did not think the shiny emblems would look good with all the gray and gunmetal on the car. The painting process was very easy and i love the results. However, removing the scion emblems was a pain especially on the front.

It looks really cool, but I like my emblems shiny, too.

Another one here who likes shiny emblems/badges.

[kcxd]

Thats why owning a car is fun. To each his own. I could not stand to have shiny emblems on a car that dark.

[oboogie]

No, I think it looks really cool on your dark car, but it would look totally weird on my Barcelona Red. It suits the shiny emblems.

[ChelsDS]

You can always color match the emblems so they match the car instead of blacking them out :)

[kcxd]

Yeah, you could color match them but i agree on red that could be a little weird. i would stick to the shiny emblems on the red car. It makes sense on your car because its a bright shiny color I was going for something different on the darker car.

For anyone wondering those are also the nf 210's with 16 inch wheels. I just could not justify buying new wheels and tires right out of the door so I stuck with 16 x7 wheels and the oem tires. When they wear out I will look for a lower profile.

Looking good!

wow for a week old your car looks great

I like the badges, they almost look color matched in the pics... If i were you i would fill the SCION letters with a darker black, I think that'd look great.
